Compassion for the inner critic

from Pause Purpose Play · host Michaela Thomas

Are you hard on yourself for mistakes you make? Do you beat yourself up for your shortcomings? In this episode, I explore why we listen to our inner critic, what function it serves for you, and how we can calm that voice inside ourselves. This episode of Pause Purpose Play is based on chapter eleven of my new book, The Lasting Connection, where we dive deep into how to soothe the inner critical voice, by developing compassion for why you have it, where it has come from and what is protects you from.
